Fixed Deposit at Rabdan Global Investment:

Amid today’s unpredictable economic conditions, fixed deposit investments are crucial for portfolio stability and income generation. At Rabdan Global Investment, we specialize in navigating the intricacies of fixed deposit investments, offering customized strategies that align with clients’ financial goals while effectively managing risks.

Understanding Investment Risk: While Fixed Deposits (FDs) are considered straightforward investments, it’s important to grasp key considerations such as interest rates, tenure, minimum account balances, and more before opening an FD account. Regardless of the chosen investment type, comprehensive knowledge is crucial to ensure capital protection and achieve expected returns.

Why Choose Investing in Fixed Deposits (FDs)?

Fixed Deposits are popular because they are among the safest investment options available, offering guaranteed returns with minimal risk of capital loss and higher interest rates compared to Savings Accounts. This makes Fixed Deposits an attractive choice for investors seeking stable and predictable returns. Additionally, certain tax-saving FDs can help investors save on taxes.

How Does a Fixed Deposit (FD) Work?

When individuals open a Fixed Deposit (FD) account, they deposit a specific amount of money for a predetermined period, typically ranging from 7 days to 10 years based on their preference. The deposited amount cannot be withdrawn until the deposit matures.

The interest rate on an FD depends on the investment period and the amount deposited. Generally, the longer the investment period, the higher the interest rate and the greater the interest earned. Interest earned is either credited to the investor’s Savings Account or reinvested in the FD at the end of the tenure. Most banks require FD holders to maintain a Savings Account for this purpose.

What is a Fixed Deposit (FD)?

A Fixed Deposit (FD) is an investment where an individual deposits a lump sum amount with a bank for a specified period. The deposited amount earns interest at a fixed rate determined at the time of account opening. FD holders can choose to receive interest payments monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually based on their preference.

Types of Fixed Deposits (FDs):

Fixed Deposits (FDs) come in various forms tailored to meet diverse investor needs. Here are some popular options:

  • Standard FD: Investors deposit a lump sum for a fixed period, earning fixed interest paid out periodically.
  • Tax-saving FD: Offers tax benefits, with a lock-in period of five years and taxable interest.
  • Senior Citizen FD: Provides higher interest rates for investors aged 60+, with options for loans and credit cards against deposits.
  • Cumulative FD: Interest is reinvested, with principal and interest paid at maturity for potentially higher returns.
  • Non-cumulative FD: Provides regular interest payouts based on investor preference for steady income.

Each type of FD offers distinct advantages, providing flexibility and stability to investors based on their financial goals and needs.
